The Ladies European Tour (LET) is back underway this week and continues its European swing with the Dutch Ladies Open.
Goyer Golf & Country Club is the venue for the second consecutive year and will see a field of 132 players compete in a 54-hole stroke play tournament.
Ahead of play getting underway on Friday, here are a few storylines to look out for.

The field of 132 players consists of five winners from the 2026 LET season vying for more success in The Netherlands.
Australia’s Kesley Bennett, France’s Agathe Laisné, England’s Esme Hamilton Denmark’s Smilla Tarning Soenderby and Germany’s Leonie Harm have all hoisted trophies this year.
All five players are also in the top 11 of the 2026 LET Order of Merit, so it’s all to play for with a big summer ahead.

SUSTAINABILITY AT THE FOREFRONT
The Dutch Ladies Open is always a leader on the LET in terms of sustainability and sustainable practices. Goyer Golf & Country club is GEO Certified and has a mixture of initiatives that they take part in.
Some of the key initiatives are there is 100% green electricity with all energy at the Dutch Ladies Open coming from stored power via batteries; more chicken will be served on the menu with up to 70% lower emissions per meal compared to beef; reusable water bottles and water stations are on site to significantly reduce the use of plastic bottles.
